Jason's Box
What happens when an experienced climate scientist becomes an activist?
In the documentary film „Jason’s Box“ we follow climate scientist Jason Box to Greenland. For many years, he has traveled to Greenland to verify the results of his measuring stations on the melting ice sheet. Now he believes that all the collected facts aren’t enough to raise people’s awareness of global warming. He decides to take action himself. He is setting out to plant trees along the ice sheet with Greenlanders and volunteers. No tree has ever grown here, global warming now makes it possible. But he soon realises that his commitment is not universally welcomed.
„Jason’s Box“ tells the story of a climate expert who becomes a climate activist. The film is set in the tension between environmental and socio-political issues, in a place where dreams meet reality and the past reflects the future.
